The mania for originating new tax methods to pay for governmental extrava- gance, reached a peak in New York City with a proposal to pick out a handful of ‘business for a new brand of class taxation. The financial, real estate, insurance, sav- ings bank and public utility worlds were as- tounded. : The proposal would tax life insurance, tor example, “one-quarter of one percent of such portion of the value of its total cap- ital, investment and gross assets as shown hy its books as its receipts on account of policies of insurance in the City of New This is inequitable taxation of funds held in trust for millions of people. The great proportion of life insurance policyholders are persons of small means. Life insurance is often their only safeguard for families and dependents. But politi- cians point to the accumulated ‘savings of these small policyholders pooled in an in- surance company, and say, “Let’s tax this rich corporation.” They do not tell the people that such a plan is an installment method of destroying savings of the masses. Supposing other cities and states adopted the tactics proposed in New York City. What would happen to the savings of the nation? One hesitates to conjec- ture. Have we reached a point where no in- vestment is sacred; where politicians can | confiscate funds to fill public treasuries which their mad schemes have depleted? ‘Unless such class legislation and con-| fiscatory taxation of private savings and investments are stopped in this nation, pri- vate property rights, that great heritage of American citizens, will have disappeared. - COLLEGE FOOTBALL College football is still regarded as an amateur sport, in spite of the Carnegie Foundation’s findings that in many insti- tutions players are to some extent ‘subsi- dized. But, regardless of what the play- ers get out of it, college football ‘has as- sumed the proportion ofa business‘in which millions are involved.

During the Coolidge and Hoover ad- ministrations export steamship corpora- tions bought 23 shipping board vessels for $1,250,000 ‘that had cost the government more. than $42,000,000. Small wonder that taxes are becoming so burdénsome that the taxpayer can do nothing but toss the burden aside. Some of the merchants in Key West may not know it, but there are hundreds of buyers of things needed in the house- hold who patronize only those merchants who advertise.” © This is not because of that omission itself but because of the belief “that merchants. who do not advertise the goods they have to offer and indicate the prices give the impression that fair dealing wtay not be expected. j earnings of a Dempsey-Tunney prize | fight.” The development of modern football from a casual sport to its present eminence seems remarkable when it is recalled that the first inter-collegiate game in the world was played in 1869 between the Princeton and Rutgers with 25 men on each team. Incidently it may be mentioned that the captain of the Princeton team in that game is still alive in the person of Chief Justice William S. Gummere of the New Jersey Supreme Court and that his team lost by the score of 6-4. It is also interesting to note that the first play which gave. rise to modern sfqot- ball is commemorated by a tablet at Rug- by School, England, bearing this inscrip- “This stone commemorates the ex- of William. Webb. Ellis, who with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time, first took the ball in his arms and ran with it, thus originating the distinctive feature of the Rugby game, A. D. 1823.” CATS AND RATS What does a cat do when it sees a rat? Sounds like a foolish question, doesn’t it? And ordinarily it would be, but Zing Yang Kuo, a noted Chinese psychologist, says it all depends on the cat’s bringing up. After innumerable experiments with 59 kittens in his laboratory, he finds that sometimes cats and rats become affection- ate playmates. This oceurs when the cats and rats are placed together practically from birth. Even without this contact, only 45 percent of his kittens attempted to kill rats unless they had seen their mo- thers do it, while after seeing a rat killed nearly all followed the mother’s example. So, Prof. Kuo says, “‘our studies show that kittens can be made to kill a rat, to love it, to hate it, to fear it, or to play with it.” All of which is interesting, even though the practical benefit of this know- ledge of rat psychology is not apparent to the layman, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Cross-word Puzzle (@000ccc0eneececdes es cocccncaneoccccesosonseseoeee : % AGROB _—Solutlon'ot Venterday'e Purl %.
